home made gnocchi

Home-made gnocchi is such a simple pleasure for a rainy Sunday afternoon. It’s easy to make and more often than not all of the ingredients are already in the pantry – potatoes or semolina, flour and an egg. And for the sauce, just some passeta, olive oil, garlic and basil and there you have it. A simple and satisfying meal indeed.

Who is this blogger then?

.... well you may ask.
sort of threw myself in to wine after a love affair in France (several vintages in the 90's) and came home and did something about it - a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Wine. I have worked also at Vue de monde and The Point Albert Park as a sommelier and spent many hours helping in the vineyard and winery at Bindi Wine Growers in the Macedon Ranges.
but enough about me...
this is a little blog about food and wine - food and wine in Melbourne.
here i will sort of delve into the stuff i love (and yes, I do love my family as well!!).
i will share with you my thoughts on all things food and wine - on all things i can get my hands on really.
but i guess the primary emphasis will be on wine; geez i love wine, and thats what i'm going to share; my love for the stuff that is often having my wife question what is more important...
